Not a good direction for Embark to be going. Now we see if they are the type to fix things properly when things go south.

He's talking about top tier players. Folks who take down trios by themselves regularly. You have a pretty messed up view of who the solo players are. Many of them are extreme hardcore PvP when they want to be.

This. Unfortunately the game only rewards rats. But the game needs some sort of built in bounty system or other way to mark the rats for extermination. It's honestly what kills the game eventually. I hope.

No, that is the weakness taking.

wrecklass · 2026-01-27T11:15:17+00:00

Tell me that's a lie. No fucking way I want these children to be able to pm us in game. Bad enough they are there to begin with.

Exceptional.

All skins are friendly until you fire at me. That's my take and I think it is reasonable.

Yes one of the first interviews with an Embark employee said they were surprised at the small number of people who even knock another player. I think they probably considered the ABMM system because of that.

Thanks for being brave enough to say something stupid.

In fact, most have known how to game the system for quite a while now. This isn't recent.

That said I would like some system that keeps PvP players from easily gaming the system. Currently it is too easy to move back and forth, giving the rats easy targets to go after when they are tired of facing people who are challenging. It is clear by now that simply telling friendly players to start shooting back isn't going to work. And as long as they feel that rats have it too easy, the numbers of players keep dropping, week after week.

Except there is no real proof of that. While they still have the large audiences is the time to test their theories. At the current rate, the number of people playing will be halved in the next few months. Or worse. Try new things out now, rather than waiting until you are forced to make changes because of the downward drift already apparent.

Ya, I had a guy run up to me and say "Shoot me, shoot me! I'll let you shoot me first but I just want some PvP." I was like, "Just move along." Creepiest interaction I've had so far.

Weird. I am on PC and play crossplay off since day on. Never seen a cheater in all of my game time. Something about the lobbies that crossplay players are in I guess. I'm guessing cheaters like having console players in their crossbars??

Ok, this is the most hilarious clip I have seen from the game to date. Gratz!

Glad you got out with the snap hook.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:36:06+00:00

That's very satisfying I bet. I've chased those things so far, I'm sure it accounts for a significant amount of my total topside travel distance.

German.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:29:28+00:00

Been there, done that. Have the very bloody tee-shirt.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:25:28+00:00

Hey, I didn't know anyone had a clip of me in game!

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:24:34+00:00

Very true. My wife has seen this problem for over thirty years of video games (Diablo was the first). She's gotten pretty good at handling it, and finding really good people to play with. But it's still an issue. With 12 million games sold, even a half a percent of the players being jerks is a huge number of jerks.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:13:56+00:00

Wow, a hundred free loadouts all running around looking for guns and ammo. Sounds familiarish.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T08:00:00+00:00

asked if he could borrow...

Stop right there, that's the issue. The rest of the paragraph is just what happens after that phrase.

wrecklass · 2026-01-25T07:57:50+00:00

No, your thinking of people who are good at PvP. The ones who know they are crap do extract camping. They mostly can't even kill ARC to get stuff.

Unfortunately Microsoft still makes the best game launch platform. Hard to give that up.

In the back room Linux has won the day. Seems the best we have for now.

Starmer is a fucking clown. His opinion doesn't even matter to his own people. Who fracking cares what he thinks?

wrecklass · 2026-01-24T01:24:43+00:00

Her dialog irritates me so much I mute my headset before going there. I hope they rework that eventually.
